John Converse, giornalista e drammaturgo californiano, si è reinventato corrispondente estero in Vietnam per scrivere un libro sulla guerra, ma soprattutto per sfuggire al delirio paranoico e all’infelice matrimonio con Marge, bigliettaia in un cinema a luci rosse con un problema di dipendenza.

Eadie T. Pratt sets out on a road trip in search of a new life and ends up in the middle of somewhere she never expected. Start with one independent, urban lesbian who cashes out her life in San Francisco for a secondhand travel trailer and sets off to the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival in search of a new life.

És així com en aquesta breu i bella novel-la comprovem com les diferències de caràcter de dues persones provoquen percepcions antagòniques del mateix incident.
